What is recorded here
This green commemorative plaque records: This boundary mark is one of many erected in the 18th century to define the Town Moor, Nuns Moor and Castle Leazes. It now marks the approximate position of the south east corner of the Town Moor and is erected here to remind the citizens of Newcastle upon Tyne of the extent of their heritage.
The Town Moor in Newcastle is a large area of common land that has been preserved since medieval times, serving as a remnant of the city's historical landscape and an important green space for its residents. The boundary marks erected in the 18th century help preserve the memory and extent of this historically significant open area.
